NAME
       ntpa - NTP Analyzer daemon program

SYNOPSIS
       ntpa --config file [--temp path] [--writepid file] [--daemon name]

DESCRIPTION
       The ntpa deamon is the core process in the NTP Analyzer system.
       ntpa(8) is responsible for collecting data from NTP daemons and for
       generating graphs and web pages.  ntpa(8) also perform other tasks like
       sending status mails.

       The graphs and html pages generated by ntpa are placed in the ntpa www
       directory and can be presented by any web server. Supporting javascript
       and css files are also located in the ntpa www directory.

       NTP Analyzer uses the Twitter Bootstrap and the jQuery framework to
       make webpages responsive. Pages can not only be viewed on traditional
       PC screens but also on mobile devices.

       --config file
